US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has traveled to the island of Crete to meet Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Blinken’s regional tour will include Arab states, Israel and the occupied West Bank, where he will deliver the message that Washington does not want a regional escalation of the Gaza conflict.
Fellow NATO member Greece is awaiting approval from the US Congress for the sale of F-35 fighter jets.
“We’ll be discussing this issue. I think there will be positive developments,” Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis told Greek television channel Skai.
